Everything Keeps Going Wrong! Couldn't Stop!Definitely 4。5 Stars! Even better than Book 1。This book surprised me with its deep and complex storyline filled with striking, well-developed characters, filled with mysterious secrets of their own。 Thought I'd take a few days to enjoy, but the Delvin-Falco detective pair were back big-time to get to the bottom of a double homicide amid too many questions and dangers everywhere。 Couldn't put the tense murder investigations down until the last page。 Not Everything Keeps Going Wrong!

Entertaining and enthralling!Liked having Sadie Cross back with her anti-hero character, as a strong force, bringing a darker and hidden side to the plotline as her past and connections create many troubles and complications。 Strong characters, dialogue, twisted plot surprises, and vivid descriptions make this reading journey unforgettable and compelling。 Although both series books are solid stand-alone reads, together the make a better reading experience。 I've already preordered Book 3。Helping me on my reading adventure was Audible's narration that added crisp personality dimensions。 I admit to increasing the narration speed to match my preferred reading speed, something that magnifies the story's already fast-paced tensions。 A most satisfying and exciting read! 。。。more

This book was awesome its the second book in the series。 Devlin and Falco have another mystery to solve。 Action packs murder mystery。 I am really liking this duo I look forward to more in this series。

I love this series。 The characters are relatable and the plot is fast moving。
Trisha,
This one was pretty good。 I liked getting to know Tori better。 It's starts with an incident at school and I liked the family aspect finally being rounded out。 Again, the two detectives were a good set but I didn't love having Sadie's POV。 The mystery was good, kept me turning pages。 This one was pretty good。 I liked getting to know Tori better。 It's starts with an incident at school and I liked the family aspect finally being rounded out。 Again, the two detectives were a good set but I didn't love having Sadie's POV。 The mystery was good, kept me turning pages。 。。。more

This is one seriously tangled up story and Devlin and Falco have their hands full。 They set out to solve a murder which soon splinters out of control in so many directions with none of the players telling the truth。 This story will have you scratching your head and keep you guessing until the very end。Enjoyed the addition of Sadie Cross。 Poor Sadie's been through hell。 Hoping the author chooses to keep her around not only to assist Devlin and Falco in their next case but would like to see her ha This is one seriously tangled up story and Devlin and Falco have their hands full。 They set out to solve a murder which soon splinters out of control in so many directions with none of the players telling the truth。 This story will have you scratching your head and keep you guessing until the very end。Enjoyed the addition of Sadie Cross。 Poor Sadie's been through hell。 Hoping the author chooses to keep her around not only to assist Devlin and Falco in their next case but would like to see her have an opportunity to enjoy a normal life。 。。。more

In this second of the series, we return to the city of Birmingham, AL and the lives of Major Investigations Division Detectives Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco。 Devlin and Falco have just landed a double homicide at a tobacco shop and bar where the owner, Leo Kurtz, and the new DDA (Deputy District Attorney) Asher Walsh have been bound and executed。 There is no apparent connection to the two so they have their work cut out for them。 Then before they get started good, the DEA steps in and takes lead In this second of the series, we return to the city of Birmingham, AL and the lives of Major Investigations Division Detectives Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco。 Devlin and Falco have just landed a double homicide at a tobacco shop and bar where the owner, Leo Kurtz, and the new DDA (Deputy District Attorney) Asher Walsh have been bound and executed。 There is no apparent connection to the two so they have their work cut out for them。 Then before they get started good, the DEA steps in and takes lead on the case。 Apparently Walsh has been investigating a major Cartel drug ring with ties in the city。 Life has been tough on Kerri's family over the last year since her niece was murdered。 Things become worse when her daughter is tied in some way to an accident at school where another student fell down the stairs in front of Tori and two friends。 Accident or was she pushed? Sadie Cross, a former detective dealing with lost memory issues while working undercover, is a now PI, was friends with Asher and is interested in helping Devlin and Falco find his killer。 This is another story where those with power and money feel above the law。 The question is who is behind everything? The author does a great job with the mystery and tying the story together as in fitting pieces of a puzzle together with some surprise components。 I am enjoying this series!I received a complimentary ARC from Thomas & Mercer through NetGalley。 All thoughts are mine only。 。。。more

I enjoy the the realness of the main characters in this series。Their actions are not always well reasoned but understandable。The plot is fairly complex but some parts were easy to conclude but did not take away from the enjoyment of the book。Looking forward to book 3。

Debra Webb's second installment of the Devlin and Falco series does not disappoint。 Although it is not a continuation story from the first one, it does lay the groundwork of the characters that are in this book。 You do not need to read the first to enjoy the second, but it gives further in depth information about the lead characters of Detective Devlin and Falco。 We were also introduced to Sadie Cross here as well。 The book opens with a double homicide with Deputy District Attorney Asher and bar Debra Webb's second installment of the Devlin and Falco series does not disappoint。 Although it is not a continuation story from the first one, it does lay the groundwork of the characters that are in this book。 You do not need to read the first to enjoy the second, but it gives further in depth information about the lead characters of Detective Devlin and Falco。 We were also introduced to Sadie Cross here as well。 The book opens with a double homicide with Deputy District Attorney Asher and bar owner Leo。 A side story of Devlin's daughter Tori who has an incident at school which causes Devlin to be distracted and Falco to take over most of the murder investigation。 Sadie Cross helps with this investigation because of her ties to the dead DDA despite her lack of memories from a previous incident from her past。 She becomes integral in solving this case, and her relationship with Devlin and Falco becomes more solid in spite of her self isolation。 The many secrets and twists that carry this story make you want to turn the page at record speed to find not just the killer(s),but why the murders were carried out to begin with。In true Debra Webb fashion, she engages the reader to a whodunit that draws you in with slow steady pacing and characters that make you care what happens。 It is a must read for the everyone who likes a good thriller with heart。#GONETOOFAR #NETGALLEY 。。。more

The book starts with a double murder。 In the middle of the investigation Det Kerri Devlin is called away to her daughters school。 There has been an incident with another student。 The further they get into the investigation the more questions they have。 This is a page turner with lots of twists and turns。 This book is part of a series but could easily stand alone。 Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy。

I enjoyed Ms。 Webb’s first story in this series, Trust No One。 There was some melodrama and the introduction of characters, but at the heart of the story I thought Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco had potential。 Gone Too Far opened roughly a year later。 Be sure and not confuse this story for Ms。 Webb’s Too Far Gone。 The problem was I knew little more about Devlin and Falco。 They were still partners。 When not working together, he came to her house for meals。 He had a decent relationship with Tori, Dev I enjoyed Ms。 Webb’s first story in this series, Trust No One。 There was some melodrama and the introduction of characters, but at the heart of the story I thought Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco had potential。 Gone Too Far opened roughly a year later。 Be sure and not confuse this story for Ms。 Webb’s Too Far Gone。 The problem was I knew little more about Devlin and Falco。 They were still partners。 When not working together, he came to her house for meals。 He had a decent relationship with Tori, Devlin’s daughter, but other than that, there was nothing new about their relationship。 Their relationship did not move forward, it simply existed。 Besides a big name homicide, the partners turned to Sadie Cross, once again, for information。 And more。Kerri’s daughter, Tori, was in serious trouble, too。 But the woo woo and bewitchment was a bit too much for me。 I thought this secondary story was very strange and simply a red herring。 There were multiple reminders that Kerri felt she was not a good parent。 I thought if Tori already suffered severe trust issues at this age, I couldn’t imagine what problems Devlin would have when she reached 15, 16 or 17 years of age。 I like Devlin and I like Falco。 I am just not sure if I am going to continue with this series。 I would like to thank Net Galley and Thomas and Mercer Publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
